Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 slices of bacon

Instructions

  • Lay bacon in a single layer at the bottom of your instant pot. Do not overlap. You might need to work in batches if all the bacon doesn’t fit.* It’s okay if the ends of the bacon have to go up the sides a little bit.
    *You can also cut the strips in half to fit.
  • Set instant pot to the “sauté” setting and cook bacon for 5 to 7 minutes before flipping and cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove bacon from the pot and set on a paper towel lined plate to absorb any remaining grease.

Notes

  1. For the best results, buy the best quality bacon you can afford. Cheaper bacon is usually fattier and produces more grease in the bottom of the pot.
  2. Carefully monitor the bacon so it doesn't overcook. Remove the bacon just before it reaches your desired doneness, as it does cook a little bit more when removed from the pot.
